85 The Mechanical Engineering Program at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics began in 1863, and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was established soon afterward, beginning official operations in the 1871/72 academic year. The Faculty is justly proud of its continuous and progressive 150-year history and now offers undergraduate and graduate programs in both Hungarian and English.Since the 2006/07 academic year, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has offered a 3.5-year undergraduate B.Sc. degree program in English. The new two-year graduate program in English, leading to an M.Sc. degree started in February 2009, students can start their studies either in the fall or spring semester. Individual postgraduate academic and research programs, which are usually completed in two to three years, are available for those who already have an M.Sc. degree and wish to pursue a Ph.D. degree.

86 The undergraduate B.Sc. program of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is designed to continue a tradition of excellence by:• providing a well-established and broad knowledge that graduates of this Faculty can apply immediately in their work and also use as the basis for further studies;• graduating competent engineers who are not only masters of their profession, but also possess an ethical philosophy of engineering based on accuracy, punctuality and reliability as well as a respect for the human element.

87 The goals of the Faculty's graduate M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs are:• to train creative, inventive mechanical engineers who can apply the engineering skills and the knowledge they have gained from the natural sciences on a state-of-the-art level; and• to foster the development of leaders in engineering research and development.

88 MSc in Mechanical Engineering Modeling at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME)This course deals with those time-dependent problems of mechanical engineering, which typically require the efficient modelling of these tasks in order to access the continuously developing methods of computational engineering.Modelling means the understanding and active application of the related theories, which are supported by differential equations and numerical methods in mathematics.Modelling needs also experimental work during the research-development-innovation process in case engineers do not have enough information about the motions and processes they want to capture by a model.

89 MSc in Mechanical Engineering ModelingAfter the brief summary of the required mathematics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, control and informatics, the students have to choose a major and a minor specialization from the following list of modules: 1. Solid Mechanics 2. Fluid Mechanics 3. Thermal Engineering Design and Technology 5. Industrial Electronics (minor only) Robotics
